Title: ... mm03 - Memories of Abandoned Match SCG 1954 - Ron Field

I used to sell 'The Sun' newspaper at the SCG every Saturday. While waiting for
the newspaper to arrive (we received them after every race) we were allowed to
stand in front of the Ladies Stand.

We were watching the match and the
punch-ups and then suddenly the match was terminated. At first we (the paper
sellers from both The Sun and The Daily Mirror) didn't know what was going on.
We were scratching our heads and wondering. Then we realised that the match was
terminated and we had to scurry out to the fron of the SCG and await our papers.

We lost quite a lot of sales because of the timing of the termination and
also for the crowd to also realise what had happened.
